Here is a quick sketch of Dahmay, a friend of mine. She is at once very imposing ( She is 30 feet tall with a wing span of 40 feet.), compassionate and exceedingly wise. Dahmay is a Noble Dragon which means, among other things, that her fire is curative and creative. As opposed the maelstrom force, destructive fire of the Greedy Dragons.
Dahmay is a friend to all. Even though the Grumpy Pirates got her stuck in enchanted pink clay pots--(they felt really badly about that!) she helps them out when they are in a pinch or are very confused and, therefore, grumpy.

Coming Soon: Excerpts from "How I met Dahmay," "The Grumpy Pirates and the Pink Clay Pots," and "Dahmay and Peak, the blue armadillo".

If you have a growth mindset, you see failures as opportunities  to learn and grow as opposed to final judgments about your character. If you have a fixed mindset, when you fail you have proved to the world that you are a sham and not worth anything. ...
